We’ve complained before that there’s a hole in the current wireless headphones market. If you’re searching for a really good set of wireless over-ear cans, your options consist either of cheaper, no-nonsense affairs such as the Sony WH-CH720 or far more premium offerings akin to the Sony WH-1000XM5 or the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones. It’s either sub-£100 / $150 or up in the realm of £280 / $300 or over, with very little occupying the space in between.
There have been some attempts to plug this substantial gap, yet few have managed to land with much effect. The Sennheiser Accentum Wireless sit slap bang in the middle at around £160 / $180 / AU$300 at launch, as do the Sony ULT Wear (debuting at £180 / $200 / AU$440). Sadly, neither pair convinced us that they represented a viable middle ground, failing to get close enough sonically to costlier front-runners or to notably outperform cheaper alternatives.
